Latest Schedule D Tax assessment??

Help!!
I've been self employed since 12/05/14, I have a UTR code and am exempt from class 2 NI contributions because of the small earnings exception certificate.
Today I received a form to fill out in order to continue receiving a council tax reduction.

On it it asks "Do you have your latest schedule D Tax Assessment?"

I'm not sure if I have it or not, or even if i've applied for it!

Am I right in thinking I dont have to apply for it as I'm on the small earnings exemption?

    They're completely out of date. Schedule D ceased to exist about 15+ years ago, so there's no such thing as a Schedule D assessment anymore. I think you need to contact them to ask them what they really mean.

    schedule D ceased in 1997/98 and was the old name for how you used to declare your self employment earnings to the Inland Revenue as it was then

    obviously as pennywise says best to confirm with the council, congratulate them for using up old stationery and suggest they get with the 21st century instead
